Barry Town United manager Gavin Chesterfield and has praised the signing of Patten following his move from Chippenham – and is looking forward to watching how the bright young prospect gets on in the pre-season fixtures coming up.

“Robbie is player who fits our player mould and style of play, he is young and has good pedigree,” admitted Chesterfield.

“He has a good range of passing and technical ability. I am now looking forward to him joining up with the squad this weekend as we kick-off our pre-season preparation,” added the Barry boss.

Patten will link-up with the squad ahead of their pre-season fixtures, which start against Penydarren BGC on the 14th July – Chesterfield’s men will also play Ton Pentre, Swansea City XI, Cardiff Met, before ending their pre-season with a home match against Southern League Premier Central outfit, Redditch United.
